- Burren_Action_Group abstract "The Burren Action Group was a group of people from County Clare in Ireland who opposed plans during the 1990s by the Office of Public Works to develop a large scale interpretative centre at Mullaghmore in the local Burren area.In 1992/1993 seven members of the group lodged a complaint against the project with the Irish High Court, which resulted in work being stopped. These seven included local farmers like James Howard and Patrick McCormack, priest Fr. John O’Donahue, Prof. Emer Colleran as well as media figures like the producer P.J. Curtis or Lelia Doolan. The Burren Action Group was also supported by leftist politicians like Brigid Makowski.Following about ten years of opposition, the group was finally successful in March 2000. An Bord Pleanála confirmed the ruling by the Clare County Council to refuse planning permission for a scaled-down version of the original plans.The Group was a collective of concerned locals who fought to maintain the natural integrity of the landscape and to protect the environment from the Government of Ireland. They also felt that the Burren and the area of Mullaghmore is a "sacred site" and holy ground that needed to be defended in a country whose sites of profound historical importance are rapidly disappearing.[citation needed]In 2012, James Howard and Patrick McCormack, the latter owner of the house that featured as the parochial house in the Father Ted TV show, once again opposed a new application to construct a car park at the site of the planned visitors' centre.".
